The sun was slightly slanting, and the academy was also closed for evening school, Xie Yiling walked quickly through the crowd out of the academy, and then through the streets of the academy, pouring into the crowded streets.

There was a shop called Shen Ji Pastry on the street, and there was a long queue at this time, and seeing that he was coming, a young man wearing a blue-gray narrow sleeve in front of the long line beckoned and shouted: "Little Eighth Master, Little Eighth Master is here!" ”

Xie Yiling glanced at the bag containing the book, then walked over, threw the bag to the scholar's boy, and took out the broken silver from his arms.

"I want a hundred fruit cake and a red bean cake."

"Okay, wait a minute." The guy in the store quickly took the oil paper and packed the pastry, "A total of one or two and a half dollars." ”

One tael of silver is ten coins, for one thousand copper coins, these two pastries will use one or two five coins, in this era when two cents can buy a vegetarian bun and four cents a meat bun, it is really too expensive for ordinary people.

However, in this imperial city, there are many people from some families, and this Shen Ji pastry is well done, and it is also a kind of ability to queue up to grab it every day.

Xie Yiling gave Qian Yin, and then walked out of the crowd with the little guy, just wanted to walk forward, but the shoulder was knocked, and the two turned around, but saw a young brother wearing a royal blue robe and a jade pendant tied around his waist standing behind them.

At this time, Brother Gongzi was holding a fan in his hand, and he was smiling: "Yo, isn't this Uncle Xiaoba?" Buying pastries? Is this going to the Marquis of Changning's mansion? ”

Xie Yiling's eyelids jumped: "What's the matter with you." ”

Xie Yiling was wearing a cyan scholar's robe, looking elegant and handsome, but he was only ten years old this year, he was still a young boy, and the childishness on his face had not subsided, but he liked to pretend to be old with a straight face, which really made people want to tease him.

This person is especially the nephew of others, Xie Yu, who is already sixteen years old.

"Alas, why is it none of my business, aren't you going to see my little aunt? I'm just idle, so I'll go with you. ”

The Xie family inherited from the previous dynasty of Daqin, has been handed down for more than 200 years, as early as the Daqin period, there have been several celebrities, all of whom have been passed down through the ages.

More than 40 years ago, the Great Qin declined, and the Xie family deeply felt that the Great Qin was not long, so they let the Xie family withdraw from the court, divided the Xie family into several branches, divided the family business and went to the east and west, and the one who still insisted on staying was the branch of the Xie family in the imperial city.

More than 30 years ago, the Great Qin perished, and the Li family became the ruler of the world, taking the name of the country Dongming, taking the meaning of 'the sun rises in the east, and the world will be bright', so it is called the Dongming Kingdom.

The Xie family presented the family wealth to the new emperor, asking for peace, the new emperor saw that the Xie family was interested, and there were no courtiers in the family, and there were several celebrities and scholars in the ancestors, who were well-known in the world, and it was really difficult to move, so when the old ministers and the clans were liquidated, the Xie family relied on the ancestral shade to protect it steadily.

After the new emperor finished liquidating the old ministers, he sat firmly in the court to govern the world, but after years of war, and because of the different paths of the enemy and me, there were too many enemies and too few people who could use them.

After this old lady entered the court, he did a lot of practical things, and made a lot of contributions to Dongming, and when the world was stable, the old lady Xie was afraid that the new emperor would be jealous, so he resigned because of his age.

In this way, the new emperor was relieved of the Xie family, and the Xie family finally survived the crisis of the old and new dynasties.

Soon after the old lady resigned, the eldest son entered the court, thirty years have passed, the old lady has already entered the ground, the new emperor is also gone, and his eldest son has become the old lady of the Xie family, nearly sixty years old, and the official worships the cabinet scholar.

From Daqin to Dongming, the Xie clan is still the Xie clan in the imperial city.

The children of the Xie family have always paid attention to etiquette, flattered high-profile things and low-key people, and the children of the family also flattered the ancestors, but this Xie Yu is an exception, living like a gentleman in a powerful family.

The powerful clan has his friends, the heroes of the three religions and the nine streams have his brothers, riding horses and archery, listening to music and fighting crickets, he is omnipotent and omnipotent, if he is the most playful person in the imperial city, he dares to be the second and no one dares to be the first.

Every time Xie Yiling saw this nephew who was a few years older than him, he felt that his head began to hurt again.

"Are you leaving?"

Xie Yiling couldn't say that he didn't need to go, so he had to come down: "Go." ”

Xie Yu smiled, and then beckoned to the back: "Rong Jiu, let's go, I'll take you to the Changning Hou Mansion, Second Master Gu is said to have raised a lot of crickets, let's go and take a look." ”

Cricket?

Xie Yiling's face turned black.

Wait a minute.

Rong Jiu?

Xie Yiling turned his head to look, but saw a young man standing under a willow tree not far away, that person was wearing a white robe of weaving gold and auspicious clouds, his posture was as tall as a pine, and his temperament was cold and unpretentious.

But that kind of person, it seems that the heaven and the earth are fused together, if you don't deliberately look at it, few people can notice it.

At this time, he turned his head and looked at it, revealing a handsome and timeless face, and his bearing was cold and unpretentious, as if there was no dust in front of the Buddha, and it was like a breeze blowing the bright moon between walks, and the bright moon shone on Beijing.

Is there such a person in the Imperial City?

Xie Yiling paused, turned his head and asked Xie Yu, "Who is he?" ”

Xie Yu grinned: "You don't know this, he, the ninth prince of Rongguo Mansion." ”

Xie Yiling was slightly surprised: "What did he come back from?" ”

The ninth prince of Rong Guogong's mansion is the son of Rong Guogong and his wife.

It is said that the Duchess of Rong Guo only got such a son in her thirties, and she should have been raised with thousands of pets, but when he was a child, he was weak and asked a master to tell his fortune, saying that his life was not good, and he could not suppress the wealth of the mansion.

So the Rongguo Mansion sent the ninth prince to the temple to cultivate his self-cultivation, and it is said that he has been leading the practice.

A few days ago, there was news that he had passed the catastrophe and could return home, and the Duchess of Rong Guo happily went to pick up people, but this one was bent on cultivation, and said that he wanted to be ordained.

Duchess Rong Guo has been sick for several days.

Xie Yiling was a little surprised, Rong Jiu, it turned out to be like this.

However, it really has a bit of a mirror that is not stained with dust, and it may not be said that Buddha nature may not be, but there is that kind of body like a breeze and ancient pine, and the state of mind is clear and dust-free.

Xie Yiling thought of this, it was even more strange, he turned his head to look at Xie Yu: "How did he mess with you?" ”

Xie Yu knocked Xie Yiling on the head with a fan: "How can you say that it is mixed, it was Rong Shizi who came to me in person, saying that it was for me to take him to have a good time, let him feel the fun of this world, don't think about becoming a monk all day long." ”

"How interesting this world is, rich and prosperous, graceful, where is the ancient temple Qing Xiu can compare......"
